Monetization Ideas for Fitness Site with 10k Uniques / month
Traffic growth started super slow, which was pretty discouraging - there was one day a few months after I launched it where I had something like 2 visitors total.
Soon after, I got a new job that made me sort of neglect the site. Anyway, over the span of the next few months, the thing took on a life of its own (with me doing nothing). Next thing I knew, I had 10k uniques per month, all organic. I threw adwords up on there to try to make a few bucks. I make anywhere from zero to 5 dollars per day with it, and I feel that traffic dipped slightly almost immediately after putting it up.
I also toyed w/ linking up fitness related daily deals too via groupon, etc, with limited success.
I recently added 4x as many gyms, so I think traffic can at a minimum double within a couple of months, especially as it's "gym joining season" now.
Outside of trying to sell advertising to gyms (which would be a full time job), what else can I do to monetize this thing I created?
